Folding Laundry, Clearing Clutter, and Proving It Is Safe | Weave Robotics
Evan Wineland and Kaan Dogrusoz on designing a home robot, and the security question they get asked first. Book Ian for your event → iankhan.com | booking@iankhan.com SUMMARY Evan Wineland and Kaan Dogrusoz of Weave Robotics describe the trials and failures behind the product design, the household applications that make immediate sense, and why they take a full-stack approach with safety and security built in rather than added. KEY FINDINGS • Product design shaped through repeated trials and failures • Deciding what the product should look like, feel like and do • Household clutter as an immediately understood application • Laundry folding as a defining test case • Full-stack approach spanning hardware and software • Safety and security designed in rather than layered on • Providing comfort to audiences wary of home robots FEATURING Evan Wineland & Kaan Dogrusoz, Co-Founders, Weave Robotics FULL TRANSCRIPT iankhan.com/futurist/weave-robotics-home-robot-design Recorded at the Humanoids Summit for The Futurist. ──────────────────── ABOUT IAN KHAN — ROBOTICS & AI KEYNOTE SPEAKER Most AI keynotes end with a better understanding. Mine end with a measured readiness score and a ninety-day plan. Your leadership team is assessed before the event, the room sees its own collective result live, and every attendee leaves with a ninety-day plan they helped build. Every year I interview more than 500 senior leaders on camera: scientists, operators, founders, regulators and investors. Those
